Our Farmers Alright. j "J We have every reason to say that the farmers in our county are doing very well under the circumstances,and this is a great compliment to them in that it evidences their ability to manage well under difficult sur¬ roundings . The number, who are forced io market their cotton as gathered, is small, and a majority of ( hem will come out even and have something left. On the ethei hand we have many tillers of the soil who have their entire crop stored at home, where it will remain un¬ f i! the market improves. These are planters who make (heir living at home and who are able to carry money in their pockets from one year through l he next, and so on, from year year, without feeling that it % m$m / i / A7/ CONYERS, GA„ SATURDAY. 3, 1896. belongs rightfully to someone _ who . else. These are men aie [a g00(i con ditiou despite the financial troubles that affiict the country, These men have reached their present independ¬ ent condition through a loug season of hard labor and self a short period of indulgence or extravagance, to return them to old trials . However they are wise and will ever look with caution to their best interests. By dint of constant labor and economy our farmers are doing we 11 and with better conditions they will make old Rockdale blossom from one end to the other. They are good and worthy men, deserving of all they have and much they bar e not.

Gen. Palmer in Georgia. Those who remember the ca reer af General Palmer in Geor¬ gia have no special reverence for his memory. The recollec¬ tion thereof will not win many votes for tho gold standard can¬ didate In this state. Especially is this true with regard to Athens where lie was stationed tor a tune, just ajter the war. His career in Kentucky has been al¬ ready ventilated. But at Athens he ruled things with a high hand and a lofty idea of his own importance. He was appointed to acornmand of the Northern forces stationed at the Classic City, and he took such measures as would most thouroughly annoy and humili¬ ate the good people of Clark and the surounding counties his temporary reign. Those who lived in Athens just after the war and who visited the Classic City at that lime will remember that the TILLEY & OUIGG, WAREHOUSEMEN AND dealers In X-"U.acCL"ber, Coal, Sixin^-lca We keel* on hand «t ail times I We curry a full line m nice all kinds of Lumber, Shingles, etc. Boors, Mantles, shi.Ii, Blinds ai d 1‘aints, Altvut/s see us before buying- lie cun sace you money.

Almand & Co. beautiful college campus was a Campus Martins • Troops were quarteied in the rooms of the Phi Kappa and Demosthenian societies. The college chapel, where public worship had been held and where Hill, Stephens and the Cobbs had spoken, was a barrackroom full of royster ing bluecoats. A sentinel guarded the gate surmounted by the arch and coat of arms of Georgia. All exercises were closed. In tho rude clash of arms letters as well as laws were silent. On one occasion a party of young people were walking through the college campus. They bursted into song and among their selections they gave “Bonny Blue Flag.” They were summarily arrested, car¬ ried before an officer and fined $23 each. Ladies and men were required to go before the officers of the post and take the oath in order to secure letters out of the postoffice. This lat ter condition was not peculiar to Athens, but the prominence of the commander of that post now does not serve to cover up the impression left in tlie uni versity town at this time. And now this man comes for ward with the brazeu assurance NO. 38 to ask the people of Georgia to support him in his quixotic ef forts to support tho will of tho people. Tho war is over but there are some of its memories that will never be forgotten nor forgiven, Such high-handed tyranny of self constituted sa traps isone of the tilings that will be remembered as long as there is a spark of patriotic feeling in tho heart of a true Southern man. As long as the gold men were determined to put out a ticket, it does look like they might have selected a man with a less unsavory record than this man Palmer as their standard bear¬ er. As we sabl before, General Buckner is in hud company.— Rome Tribuue. Negro Speeh. A young negro fellow mounted a box in front of the ccurthcuse Monday evening and exorcised his lungs for about an hour and a half in a speech urging his race to greater moral an i i idm trial effort and denouncing their lack of independence and race pride. He made a very good speech and promised to return again next week a id lecture again.
